re: HUD Lead Hazard Control Grant IALHB0243-03,
Dubuque's Lead Hazard Reduction Program
Dear Mayor Duggan:
I have reviewed your Quarterly Report for the period of April 1, 2004 to June 30, 2004. This
letter serves as my assessment of your performance implementing your approved Lead Hazard
Control (LHC) Work Plan activities during this period. This assessment is predicated upon a review
of your progress in relation to the five performance factors determined by BUD to be critical in
accomplishing the goals and objectives of the LHC program. They are: 1) Unit Production; 2)
LOCCS Drawdowns; 3) Lead Inspections; 4) Training Activities; and 5) Outreach. All lead hazard
control grantees are rated on a three-color chart representing performance in meeting these critical
performance factors.
The three-color codes are used to designate your Program's Overall performance, and this
designation is provided below:
~ Green - Grantee ahead or on schedule with all performance factors
0 No action required.
0 Yellow - Grantee behind schedule in one or more performance factors
0 Monthly updates provided to GTR.
0 Red - Grantee substantially behind schedule in one or more performance factors
0 Work Out strategy and weekly reports to GTR are required. Grantee may be
designated as "High Risk".
The data you submitted for the reporting period was used in determining your current
designation by means of a Five-Factor Assessment Tool.
The results of the Five-Factor Assessment are as follows:

. Training 73 sessions 0 197 197 Ahead of Schedule
5. Outreach (events/oeoole) 5 0 10/4630 6 Ahead of Schedule
6. Other risk criteria None
According to the data you submitted in your April 1 to June 30, 2004 Quarterly Report, the
Program is culTently performing on or ahead of schedule. Some adjustments may have to be made
to your very optimistic projections about your abilities to start the program at a very fast pace. You
have completed your start-up activities and you have completed 9 lead-safe units and 117
evaluations. Your grant program is performing very strongly. Therefore, your overall
performance is designated GREEN.
As part of our overall strategy to refocus our collective efforts and attention toward achieving
results and sharing successes, we are making available on our web site a Grant Programs
Performance Report for each reporting quarter. The report can be downloaded from the Office's
web site, http://www.hud.gov/offices/lead. This report details grantee accomplishments toward
achieving the Office's key performance goals, compiled from grantee quarterly and final reports,
and from monitoring activities.
If you have any questions, please call me at (202) 755-1785 ext. 120, or bye-mail at
